BANG goes the bottem end

Well think my bottom end might have just dissolved today   

Warmed it up, give it a bit and BOOSH almighty release of compression and oil!

Got it back on the back of my mates truck and dumped it in the garage and ill have a butchers Tuesday but it doesn't look good!

Ahhh well let phase 2 commence   

2.1 built motor I'd say or a forged 2.0

Soz mate

dont sound good mate just on the hols as well!

Not a nice Xmas present, how long did you expect it to last with a 20g on ?

Get it stroked

You are brave if you buy anything from them!

And wealthy too

Really, please explain ?

Andy Forrest uses their engine internals.

We're you sat on the A690 at the top of Houghton cut today?

Yes mate that was me   

Thinking 2.0 CDB with forged internals, front mount, 1000cc injectors and a MD321V    not sure about strokering it but im not rulling anything out

Wouldn't a 321V and 1000 cc be a bit over kill on a 2.0L? Go 2.5 mate

What's wrong with lateral ??

Anyone that would supply the injectors hardy got isn't worth the risk buying anything off, my opinion.

My old 2.2 Type R had a 321v fitted before I bought it, and TBH it was frightening,    you couldn't drive it hard, as you were forever correcting it. I had it removed & replaced with a 20g. If it were ment for a track that would be a different matter.

Well to be truthful I don't get the idea if 2.1 / 2.3 stroker kits if my cars a 2.5. ?? What is it changing??

I wouldnt have a problem sticking with my 20G and maxing it out (or there abouts), to be honest i was just getting a little carried away   , im just going to stay sensible and keep it quick for the road but not too quick.

Anyone got or know of a 2.0 CDB for sale?

Im new to this level of modding so this maybe a stupid question but......

Providing my heads are free from damage woulld they be a direct fit to the CDB?

Are the CDB's that are used, from early classics? or can you buy a new CDB?

Would byers newage sti engine drop staright into mine???

It's there like pal.. Stong engine as well nitrated crank good for 450bhp dunno if it will fit like

You have PM   

no, but a little bit of work. you could put your heads onto his bottom end if your heads are not damaged.

Yeah the bottom end is a direct fit mate, from memory I am sure the 2004 STI engine is semi closed deck too, that is plenty strong for even a 450 build.

Would be a great starting point as you won't need pistons etc

CDB can be had new, dig deep though.

Buy a second hand CDB and get some nice parts in it for a forged 2.0, anywhere from £250 will get you a block,

Cheers lads, i phoned finn earlier and asked him and he said exactly what you's have said.

Time to get investigating tomorrow    

Breakers on SN and 22B have blocks in or even some decent built motors already for sensible money,
